Hello. Have you ever wondered why children should play with lego? If you have, pay attention.
First of all lego helps children develop and improve their fine motor skills. Building towers helps to teach children how to stack and extend their bodies as the tower gets taller. Interlocking the lego bricks helps to strengthen a child's hand muscles, which is essential for hand writing. It also helps them with their hand-eye co-ordination skills.
Lego can help young children with their shape and colour recognition skills. The lego bricks come in all shapes and sizes. This helps them to understand the basic shapes such as squares, circles etc. For an example; "Is it big or little in size?". The lego bricks also come in many different colours. The colours can teach children about different shades and patterns.
Thirdly, lego help older children to understand the structure of building models. For example, if your child or teenager is building a freestanding roof and it collapses, your child will have to try another way until it works. I tried it at home and it took me a while.
Mathematics skills. Researchers found that 4 tear olds who have played with lego blocks in more complex ways were more likely to achieve higher maths scores in High School. Smarter preschoolers are more likely to engage in complex block play. Lego can help children with their numbers by the amount of studs on 1 brick.
So as you can see there are many ways lego can help young and older children learn new skills. This is why children should play with lego.
